USD/CHF Price Forecast: Breakdown below 0.7800 extends downtrend
- USD/CHF breaks below 0.7800, testing critical trendline support zone.
- RSI weakens further, confirming sellers remain firmly in control.
- Break below 0.7747 exposes 0.7668 and deeper downside levels.
The USD/CHF tests key support at a trendline after clearing the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.7828 which exacerbated the breach of the 0.7800 figure, and testing last week’s lows of 0.7775. At the time of writing, the pair is down 0.37%, poised to extend its losses on a breach of key support at 0.7747.
USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The technical picture shows the USD/CHF downtrend remains intact, with sellers gathering momentum as depicted in the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The RSI is aiming lower, clearing the last throut of 39. That said, the last line of demand threatened by sellers at 0.7775 might be at risk of getting cleared, clearing the path towards the March 10 low of 0.7747. On further weakness, the next area of interest would be the March 2 low of 0.7668.
Conversely, for a recovery, bulls must clear 0.7800 and also the 50-day SMA. Once those two areas are taken down, the next key resistance would be the 100-day SMA at 0.7868, ahead of the 20-day SMA at 0.7906.
